Bill Knott Space Poems
- 1. Tempestrousseau
The clock is dressed in drag, I mean it wears
space instead of its own proper aspect
but if it wore time, would it disappear
isn't visibility an effect
... - 2. Poem To Poetry
Poetry,
you are an electric,
a magic, field--like the space
between a sleepwalker's outheld arms!
... - 3. To Ripley (alien 1-4)
Always your face like a space
(Destination: beautiful) ship
Empties its mote of closeup trace
Down screens that blink blank blip
... - 4. Another Hole For W.r Rodgers
Speak like a singularity, a lack
residing deep inside every lock, just
past the point keys can jab: against all thrust
make safe-ensure your door's core is held back,
... - 5. Space

until we joined hands with a wand
and that act enabled them
somehow then to reach the ground
